Sanjay Gupta for Surgeon General.

Have you ever heard of anything more absurd?

____________________________________

Since I don't have cable teevee, it took a while for me to remember where I'd heard of this guy before.

Then I remembered: he made an ass of himself trying to John Stossel Mike Moore over the veracity of facts presented in "SICKO". I must have seen it at Crooks & Liars.

I just coined the verb "John Stossel", and like the man himself, it's probably too rank and clumsy for repeated use. Anyway, Gupta mendaciously and disingenuously tried to take a hard line in challenging Moore's facts, and got his pompous ass handed to him.

If Surgeon General is essentially an honorary job, a public-relations sinecure, I guess an infotainwhore is the right pragmatic choice.

Better safe than sorry; Clinton 2.0 has learned from its experience with Joycelyn Elders!

In 1994, she was invited to speak at a United Nations conference on AIDS. She was asked whether it would be appropriate to promote masturbation as a means of preventing young people from engaging in riskier forms of sexual activity, and she replied, "I think that it is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught." This remark caused great controversy and resulted in Elders losing the support of the White House. White House chief of staff Leon Panetta remarked, "There have been too many areas where the President does not agree with her views. This is just one too many." Elders was fired by President Clinton as a result of the controversy in December of 1994. [Wikipedia]

is reading things like this:

@Glenn: Why haven't you enlisted?

You have said that there is no such thing as an "unjust war." So why have you not enlisted in George W. Bush's "war on terror"?

Almost four hours later.

It's like being the last person in a crowd to 'get' the joke. :-s

If the zionists aren't eliminated they will grow like a cancer

The countries of the world have ignore the UN rules band together and wipe out the zionists without worrying about what their American puppets say.

Is there some way to shoot this piece of fuk robot in the head as to render it dead? We've had more than enough of it's bleeding all over it self since day one. It isn't enjoyable to see someone whack off various parts of their brain at all, much less on a daily basis. So, Salon please get rid of this piece of shit once and for all. It's tiresome to have to see it on my shoe everyday.

Natan Sharansky would be polite to him too.

Sharansky was so polite to his Russian guards, they came to respect and love him for his honest willingness to debate with them and to treat them as fellow human beings.

Today, in the WSJ, Sharansky details exactly what is going on here in the anti-Israel propaganda campaign. The article is entitled "How the U.N. Perpetuates the 'Refugee' Problem"

Keep up the bad work, you stoopid, leftoid bigots.

I still do not understand why Glenda is so lacking in balls, he will not agree to reciprocate, and test his own 'progressive' mettle against his 'right wing' counterparts.

GWEN:

Why not start a regular debate here, inviting the following opponents to your suecidal beliefs to exchange opinions and perspectives with your I think utterly lame beliefs:

1. Tomorrow and every Wednesday you could exchange ideas and debate Natan Sharansky.

2. Thursdays you could run circles around Charles Krauthammer (or would you be afraid of a grown man in a wheel chair?).

3. Fridays you could lay waste to Canada's wonderful Marc Steyn.

4. We'll give you both of the Sabbath days off, Gwen, to help you recover from the spanking of three very bad days for your knee jerk, liberal, oblivious thought.

5. Monday you can have someone easy: How about Michelle Malkin? Do you think you'd score well with her?

6. How about Michael Savage on Tuesdays. He'd be real nice to you, I'm sure.

7. Wednesdays? How about me. I bet you think you've easily bested me on your own, self absorbed site. Let's go for it, Gwen. I could easily take you to the wood pile as a self hating Jew who is determined to remain clueless in your devotion to "progressive" suecidalism.

You poor, stupid, retarded idiotic shell of a human being. I hope for your sake that you very soon die of natural causes in order to put you out of your misery.

The civilian body count in Gaza can be squarely laid at the feet of Hamas. If these "death to Israel" terrorists weren't in the perpetual habit of firing mortars and rockets from hospitals and schools, the return fire from Israeli batteries and tanks wouldn't target such structures.

It's fascinating, in a sickening way, how you Hamas-applauding leftists are so quick to bring up cowardice when Israel brings to bear its overwhelming military might in defense of the nation, but are strangely silent when Islamic militants show true cowardice in firing their weaponry behind the cover of women and children.

As I said before, I just hope that the IDF can finish the job in Gaza before the hateful propaganda of the UN and other leftist institutions forces Israel (yet once again) to stay its hand. It would be truly regrettable if they were compelled to pull back, thereby permitting the murderous Allahu Akbar fanatics of Hamas to regroup, resupply and rearm.

Otherwise, this withering tit-for-tat violence will never end.

Do you know Wallaby? S/he is going to sue everyone here, too.

Wow. The power of name-calling. That will get you far in life. Good luck with that. Since your powers of argument only go so far as to demand that Glen do what he is already doing, you'll need it.

My Mommie Rose helped to fund our family's passage here by being a slave in an Austrian bed and breakfast for an entire year when she was 13.

She lived to be 103, unwitty Kitty.

So you'll probably have me around to deal with for at least another quarter century, you lovely little puss sore.
